There isn't any problem without a solution. Those who think the current storms of challenges are permanent may be day dreaming.The natural trend of events indicates that a person or a nation's strength is tested in his/her weakness. In weakness he is challenged to come out with resilience and determination to achieve victory. No matter the challenges, they will eventually come to pass and those who for political patronage have lost their first estate as Ghanaians will bow their heads in shame.This is not the first time we went through these difficult times as a nation. In the end Ghana shall prevail. No single person in Ghana is born the " messiah ", we all have the collective responsibility to help make Ghana a better place. It is not the prerogative responsibility of any selected few.

The monies collected from workers have virtually disappeared, and that Thomson guy at SSNIT is not to be trusted. He is a vampire, and his brother is the other Thomson that was the CEO at STC, and has been removed this year by workers on matters relating to pension funds and other wrongdoings. Until the "Big" Thomson at SSNIT is removed, the extent of the damage done to workers' pensions in this country will never be known. SSNIT is bankrupt under Mr. Thomson and the monies have been misused.

The only lasting solution to this impasse is to send BNI to SSNIT to investigate and unearth the stinking rot, and skeletons that are kept in their big cupboards. What they will find will send every Ghanaian into the street calling for "blood to flow". Unfortunately, the government itself seems to have a hand in the malfeasance, and that is the expected impediment workers would have to face.

Stupid! Was it NPP that advised the government to squander the money meant for the unions?

The timetable was to transfer all their funds starting May, 2012 upon nominating their fund managers, from deductions that was started in January of 2010. Currently, deductions from Jan, 2010 to Dec, 2011, ie 2 solid years, is nowhere to be found.
Why could SSNIT and BoG not reconcile the principal owed the private sector workers and the interest that has accrued so far, because it has been misapplied or looted.
The Mahama led NDC gov't is the worst ever, and need to be voted out.

Eh! This Mahama-led government owes everybody in Ghana. Earlier it was eating to the born, now it is the born that had been eaten. I'm pessimistic of anything good in the coming months.

These Akan Union leaders are contemptuous of the nations leaders and threatening it by the day. Government should dismiss these idiots. It is their mothers and sister who go to the schools and hospitals they have shut down. Every oessewa of loss should be deducted from the salary of the workers

Foolish parochial nationalist! The leaders are not Akans, they are dedicated and committed union leaders who are seeking the welfare and interests of their constituents. Such leaders are needed to steam the tide of unconstitutionalism of a corrupt and incompetent government. Ethnicity is of no relevance.

This is nothing to do with pensions. It is rather a fight against Mahama for blocking most of the avenues these workers were using to steal government money.
